This lecture delves into advanced concepts of data stream processing, focusing on real-time data from Dutch railways and historical data from Swiss Federal Railways. The instructor explores the use of Kafka clients, live animation, and interactive plots to analyze and visualize train data streams. Students will work on exercises related to decoding messages, extracting GPS data, and creating interactive plots using Python. The lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding train information displays, train car numbers, GPS coordinates, speed, and direction in the context of real-time data processing.
